Dragon's Lair Dojo, Inc. is a Division of the Black Belt Union of the Japanese Ketsugen Karate founded by Chief Grand Master Teacher Erskine Robert Matthews, Sr.
Beginning as early as age 5, new students are infused with confidence and are given the basic tools of a Ketsugen Warrior, receiving flexibility training, motor skill development, coordination and balance, while learning respect for law and order, courtesy and communication skills.
Older students are taught to take responsibility for their actions. We emphasize self-discipline, self-control, self confidence and a better attention span. We train our students how to relieve stress, to become more flexible, to have sharper reflexes, and we challenge them physically with coordination drills and self-defense training. We emphasize attention to detail and seek to strike a balance between Martial Arts, home behavior and school performance. Since our Dojo's curriculum fits the needs of our students, they are not only succeeding on the mat, but also in life!
At Dragon's Lair Dojo, Ketsugen Warriors train first and foremost for real-life self-defense. What would you do if you or your child were attacked one day and you do not know how to defend yourself or are too afraid to? Knowing how to fend off attackers and protect ourselves could very well be the difference between life and death.
Our Warriors also train in Karate for the competitive and sport level of the Martial Arts arena. Students ranging between age 5 to adult win 1st, 2nd and 3rd place positions in a variety of championship tournaments.
Our Martial Arts goal is to bring Japanese Ketsugen Karate to any and every community that will welcome the teachings and philosophy of our way of life.
